An on-line particulate analysis instrument has been developed by Leeds and Northrup Company under ERDA sponsorship for monitoring particle loadings in the gas cleanup stages of advanced combustion systems. This instrument utilizes low angle forward scattering of optically illuminated particles by across-the-duct measurements to determine their size and concentration. A prototype instrument has been designed and constructed to evaluate this means of measuring particles on fluidized bed combustion systems and field tests have been completed on this unit at the Argonne National Laboratory. This report presents a brief description of the instrument and discusses results obtained from the Argonne tests.
